To all whom t may concern: hoops hereinafter specified are in position Be it known that l, LEONARD L. JOHNSON, they will not project appreciably beyond the a citizen of the United States, and aresident outer wall of the largest part of such shell. of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State The lower edge 6 of the shell is shown bent 55 of New York, have invented certain new and at Van angle thereto-as, for instance, inuseful Improvements in Metallic Receptawardly and upon itself-to form a substancles, of which the following isaspecification. tially straight inwardly-extending annular This invention relates to metallic receptaduplex flange 7 and also bent inwardly and cles, and more particularly to the method of upon itself to form a substantially straight 6o Io assembling the parts thereof together to form annular locking iiange 8, with an annular the body of said receptacle; and one object of recess 9 intermediate such flanges. Into the invention is to provide a receptacle havthis recess 9 the edge 10 of the bottom 5 proing the parts forming the body thereof firmly jects, being clamped therein against the duand rigidly connected in an improved manplex iange by the inwardly-extending annu- 65 ner Without the use of rivets or other indelar locking-liange S.

This part 13 of the hoop also forms without a breast, the invention moreparticuan abutment for the firm clamping of the 9o 4o larly relating to the manner of securing the bottom in position intermediate said flanges, bottom thereof to the shell; but when the reas well as a means for supporting such bottom. ceptacle is provided with a breast it may be In practice when an overlapped seam is pro assembled with the shell in asimilar manner vided one edge, as 14, of the shell may also to that in which the bottom is united therebe clamped, together with the bottom inter.- 95 with. mediate said flanges, and firmly maintained ln the present instance the receptacle is in position. When a breast is providedthe shown comprising a breast 2, having a neck upper edge 15 of the shell is also bent at an 3, a shell 4, and a bottom 5, the shell being angle thereto-as, for instance, inwardly and preferably formed of less diameter adjacent upon itself--to form a substantially straight roo 5o to its upper and lower edges than the inannular duplex flange 16 andbent inwardlyT termediate part thereof, whereby when the anduponitselftoformasubstantiallystraight annular lockingeflange 17, with a recess 18 inl termediate said flanges. Into this recess the edge 19 of the breast projects, being clamped therein by the lockingflange To reinforce the shell adjacent to its juncture with the breast, a suitable hoop or band 20 is provided.

To prevent any leakage that may occur and also to assist in securing the parts together, solder maybe forced into the crevices, whereby the bottom, the shell, and its hoop are all firmly united together, as is also the breast and its hoop. In practice the solder is so placed that it extends at the under side of the locking-flange and forms a projecting part of the hoop and also a bearing or support 24 for such locking-flange.

From the foregoing it will be seen that this improved receptacle comprises a shell and a me1nber--such,for instance, as a bottom-one of which parts is so bent upon itself as to form an annularduplex flange and a locking-flange, with a recess intermediate such flanges for the reception of the edge of the other of said members, combined with a hoop or band located on said shell and havinga part thereof projecting under one of said flanges.

In conclusion, it will be seen that the bottom may be secured to the can without the use of rivets and without depending entirely upon the use of solder, as is frequently the case.

Having described my invention, I claim- 1. A metallic receptacle comprisingashell, the metal of which is bent at an angle thereto and upon itself to form a substantially straight, annular duplex flange, and a substantially straight locking-flange at one side of said duplex flange; a member having its edge clamped in position intermediate said flanges; and a hoop located around said shell and in position to prevent the springing of the shell away from said member.

2. A metallic receptacle comprisingashell, the metal of which is bent inwardly and upon itself to form an inwardly-extendingsubstantially straight, annular duplex flange and a substantially straight locking-flange below said duplexv fla-nge; a bottom plate having its edge clamped in position intermediate said flanges; and a hoop or band located around said shell and in position to prevent the springing of the shellaway from said bottom plate, and having a part thereof located be low said locking-flange.

3. A metallic receptacle comprising a shell, and a concavo convex bottom assembled therewith, with its convex face located interiorly of the receptacle, thereby to present an arched surface to the load, one of said members having a part thereof bent upon itself to form an annular duplex flange, and at one side thereof' a locking-flange with a recess intermediate said duplex flange and said locking-flange for the reception of the edge of the other of said members.

4. A metallic receptacle comprisinga shell,

the met-al of which is bent inwardlyand upon itself to form a substantiallystraight, annular duplex Hange, and also upon itself to form a substantially straight locking-dang@ with an annular recess between said lockingflange and saidduplex ange; a concavo-con- Vex bottom having its edge clamped in said recess by said locking-flange and having its convex face located on the interior of said receptacle, thereby to present an arched surface to the load; and a hoop located around said receptacle and having a part projecting below and in engagement with one of' said flanges.

5. A metallic receptacle comprising a shell, the metal of which is bent adjacent to one of its edges to decrease the diameter of such shell at such bent portion, and with a part thereof bent upon itself to form an annular duplex flange, and at one side thereof a locking-flange with a recess intermediate said duplex flange and said locking-flange for the reception of the edge of a member forming a part of said receptacle; and a hoop or band located around said shell at the decreased part thereof.

6. A metallic receptacle comprisingashell the wall of which is bent inwardly adjacent to its bottom, whereby the diameter of said shell is less at such bottom than at the middle thereof, and which wall has a part thereof bent inwardly and upon itself to form a duplex flange, and also bent upon itself to form a locking-flange with a recess intermediate said locking-flange and said duplex flange; a concavoconvex bottom comprising a plate having its edge bent to project into said recess and permit its upper surface to form a continuation of the uppersurface of said dupleX flange; and a hoop or band extending around said shell at that part thereof having the smallest diameter and havinga part projecting below and in engagement with said locking-flange.

7. A metallic receptacle comprisingashell the upper edge of which is bent inwardly and upon itself to form an inwardly-extending, annular, duplex flange and a locking-flange at one side thereof with a recess intermediate said flanges; a breast having its edge clamped in said recess by said locking-flange, said shell also having its lower edge bent inwardly and upon itself to form an inwardly-extending, annular, duplex flange and a locking-flange below said duplex flange with a recess intermediate said flanges; a bottom having its edge clamped in said recess by said locking-flange; and a hoop extending around said shell and having a part thereof projecting under said locking-flange.

8. A metallic receptacle comprisingashell having its upper portion bent to form a part of decreased diameter with the edge thereof bent inwardlyand upon itself to form an inwardly-extending annular duplex flange, and a locking-flange at one side thereof with a recess intermediate said flanges; a breast hav- IOO IIO

to present an arched surface tothe load; and a hoop or band located around said shell at I5 the juncture thereof with said bottom and having a part thereof extending below and engaging one lof said flanges.
